Monticelli Bianco, 2020 Portugal Taste and Terroir: Xurxo Alba

Taste and Terroir: Xurxo Alba is one of only a handful of producers on Galicia’s wild Atlantic coast making wines of minimal intervention

A very light maceration of three grapes from a historically important organic vineyard in Gioia

White flowers meet stone fruit

Carignan and Syrah with aromas of crushed red fruit and lifted acidity to keep the palate in check

nutty malt and spiced bread but a family of unwaveringly committed winemakers sustained by the region of Umbria since the Mediaeval era

Monticelli Bianco, 2020 Portugal Taste and Terroir: Xurxo AlbaOrange wine by Silvia Tezza. The grapes spent four weeks on the skins. Saline and very smooth.
